Parish Council
The Parish Council has two critical functions. It is an advisory body to the pastor that guides the many wonderful ministries of our parish. It is also a visioning body that assists the pastor and staff in planning and administration of the parish. The role of our Parish Council is to be the group that answers the question: “Where are we going?”
For more on the Parish Council, including information about Council Members as well as minutes from Council meetings, please visit the Parish Leadership page.

Finance Council
The Finance Council serves as a consultative body which makes recommendations to the pastor concerning the temporal goods of the parish. It monitors the parish’s financial strength, accounting procedures, and internal controls. In addition to reviewing the parish’s monthly financial statements, the Finance Council also participates in the preparation of the parish’s annual operating budget, the annual report to parish membership, and the financial reporting to the Archdiocese.

Money Counters
The money counters are a group of dedicated parishioners who count the weekly offerings and donations. They play an important part in preserving the integrity of the parish’s internal control structure. Donations are separated by category, and then monies are double counted. The counters are expected to maintain strict confidentiality in their ministry so as to preserve the trust of donors and security of their offerings. If you are interested in joining the money counting teams, please contact the parish office.

Stewardship Committee
The Stewardship Committee is a group which assists the parishioners in discerning their gifts of time, talent, and treasure. These three classic elements of stewardship can be seen in how we PRAY, how we SERVE, and how we GIVE. The committee helps plan and implement the annual stewardship campaign for material support of the parish and its ministries. This committee is open to all who would like to help other parishioners discern their various gifts.
